Leptin, neuropeptide-Y (NPY) and orexin are peptides regulating energy metabolism and appetite control. NPY and orexin are mainly found in the central nervous system and they have also recently been found in the peripheral nervous system. We investigated how fasting affects changes in circulating concentrations of these peptides and their association with nutritional and metabolic parameters in humans.
